She was last out of the water in September 2017 when she had anodes replaced. Whe she was out it was noticed that there was some damage to the Port prop and shaft. These have all been repaired under the owners insurance. The vessel had new engines fitted in 1997. She has been owned by the current owner for the past 14 years.
